Description

Punulu'u Black Sand beach is on the south eastern coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. Green sea turtles and Hawksbill sea turtles come onto the beach to bask or lay eggs. Which means the tourists also arrive to watch the turtles.
Locals go fishing on both sides of the bay, and there is a brackish water pond just beyond the far palm trees.
The waves play havoc with the gigapan system :-) so there are some wave irregularities :-) And, this was my second attempt at making an image. With no manual exposure and 3x optical zoom, not as good as it could be.
I'll be back and re-shoot with a different camera.

    Mahalo. Expect pain :-) Well, it's not that bad really. Positioning the centre of the gigapan is easy enough, but when it comes to aligning the gigapan, I find that the gigapan is invisible when you double-click on it. What I do is set as much as I can without opening the gigapan, save those changes and then go back in to the geocoding page. I find that the gigapan is visible then and I can do the rest of the settings.

    Aloha - I'll give it a shot in a couple days - that was next on the list of "gigapan things I need to learn".
